A really enjoyable experience and an innovative way to bring art to the public. My favorite section was the immersive sounds of the Mediterranean; this was brilliantly done and truly captured Mediterranean living. Thank you!

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to experience art in the setting of the most magnificent catamaran... The acrobats of 'Gregarious' fascinated us with the precision of their stunts, as well as their acting skills. What a gem of a performance!
